I have a 1988 GT, but I have tilt wheel and mass air, do I have the forged pistons as well. I've read around that those options came on the 1989-1993s but I definitely have an 1988..

I also have a wonderful 85MPH Speedo

TIA for any input

yes you have forged pistons. unless someone did a mass air conversion, your car is an original california car. all 88 mustangs sold in california were mass air, whereas everyone else didn't get mass air until the following year.

If it's the original block you have forged pistons. BTW, is that a California car, or did it have a mass air conversion?
